The Diamond That Chocolate Bought…

What a perfect day to finally post this story! The ultimate chocolate and diamonds day…I hope this finds you in a place of feeling well loved.

So are you wondering what to invest some of your golden goose in next? As an Ambassador for connection on the leading edge of thought, I would be remiss if I didn’t let you know about this [ahem] “gem” of an opportunity…

I’ve been wanting to blog about this for a year now and until these past few days it just didn’t feel “right”, like something was missing. I was excited about telling the story and yet I couldn’t bring myself to write it – it lacked “substance” or “credibility”. It needed a punchline, without it there was no “moral to the story”, no real learning. I now have the valuable hindsight available from the broader perspective of 1 year later…

As I look back over the last year I get the giggles, I can clearly see much different results in my reality. I asked for some things fun and new and the Universe delivered with resounding clarity! It pulled some things out of the box I could never have imagined!! Two things stand out, healthy chocolate and colored diamonds!

Exactly 1 year ago today I met on the phone with one of the world’s foremost experts on diamonds, Colin Ferguson of Carats.com. Investing in colored diamonds was the topic of the first call I showed up for through the Freedom Investment Club, an organization I joined through T. Harv Eker’s work. Investing is not something I feel a strong desire to learn, myself aside, learn something I must if I wanted to grow my money like “the big guns”. So I asked the Universe to send something I could do without having to get a degree or accreditation for, I wanted something fun, simple and effective.

After a very fun and informative hour or so with Colin Ferguson – out of Victoria, BC – on the phone I couldn’t help but give the order to go for it! I agreed to have him find me the perfect diamond to begin my collection with! He knew how much I had to invest and off he went in search of the perfect match. At the time a small voice in the back of my mind was questioning whether I was doing the “right” thing, and yet it was so “in alignment” with who I am and what I asked for! It “just felt good”, everything about it seemed “the right thing to do”.

Happy Valentine’s Day To Me!

My Argyle Diamond
This stunner is the first of my collection of investment gems.
For my investment portfolio the Universe sent me
“stealth wealth“, “real estate in my pocket” or
“the world’s most concentrated form of wealth.”
I’d say that’s pretty good manifesting!
Isn’t it gorgeous!! I am going to go visit it soon.

My diamond pictured above rests comfortably in a vault at Carat’s offices where it is insured by Lloyd’s of London and waiting for the perfect buyer at the perfect time! I’ve committed to hanging onto it for 3 to 5 years. I’m working up to having one custom cut that I’ll actually wear, a purple trillian is what I am wanting – it will be called “THE DiamondJul Diamond”. I feel such a connection to my gem, like me it has come from being a lump of coal under a lot of pressure over time…my perfect rock is out there waiting to be uncovered, cut and polished to the level of perfection it is, I can almost hear it calling to me!

Since a year ago I have been learning what a great decision I did indeed make! My diamond is one of my “chocolate manifestations“. After watching the video at the link below I’m feelin’ proud as a peacock and thinking this was the best Valentine’s gift ever!

I could hear the sucking sounds as the Universe refilled the vacuum I had created just a couple of months before, I wanted an investment other than real estate or the stock market, I’d say I got it!

My Fellow Canadians I ask you, “Fhat The Wuck?!”

I have started the process of getting clarity on what I want my next vehicle to be…I am loving the idea of owning an electric car!!

I as I headed out to do my research I found I could have a whole fleet of electric cars if I want!! I had no idea there were so many in production and in use!! The Tesla Roadster makes me wriggle a bit…

And, I found some interesting (CBC Consumers Report) and entertaining (see below) surprises along the way!!

I want a ZENN (Zero Emissions No Noise) car most of all now…the (now respected) rebel in me has emotionally reacted and grabbed a hold of being told,

“You can’t have it here…“!!

Oh yeah?!!!

Watch…this video is a riot!!
(I really like Rick Mercer!)

Know How You Manifest!

Everybody’s Freeeeee To Feel Good!!

This was the theme song of my weekend fun with some of the most conscious people on the planet!!

And I stand convinced that if you want to get the hang of your own processes of manifestation and allowing you need to get out into the world – even if it’s virtual. Go on an adventure, put yourself out there where “cool things can happen to and for you”!

Whenever I take myself out of my own habitual environment I am far more open to the messages from the Universe. Each time I go on a trip or into an unknown situation I am on fertile ground for learning my own inner processes for personal manifestation.

I have just returned from the best seminar that T. Harv Eker has put together yet!! 1400 of us gathered in Los Angeles, California for the first run of “Master Your Mind”, it was a huge success!

(And yes Mom, I know I always say, “this was the best one yet!” It’s true! It’s true!)

Like the students of his learning systems, Harv keeps getting better and better at what he does! It is a reciprocal relationship, I am knowing as the teacher I usually learn far more than as the student…

I had the most pleasant and fun trip from all angles – Yes! Even the flight!!! It was good to share the space of some great friends from afar and be in the bubble that’s conditioned for Success! 3 years and 12 events later and it’s been worth every single penny I’ve invested – joining Peak Potentials Quantum program was the greatest gift I’ve ever given myself! I listened to hishome-study audios for 2 years before that!

I am gently analyzing how I manifested that bit of perfection on the weekend so that I can duplicate these experiences again and again for myself and those around me!

The Universe says next time I should treat myself to a first class ticket…bigger game indeed…

I took few notes this time, choosing to remain engaged and in the moment. As usual I simply showed up with the intention to have the Universe provide me with exactly what I needed, and as sure as the sun rises and sets, I got it in bucket loads!

I am always amazed at how powerful a single phrase can be in shifting my whole perspective on a topic. After that, everything changes! The subtle phrases invoke huge ahas, of which I had many!

This latest seminar was all about “Mastering Your Mind”. I really can’t think of anywhere else on the planet where I could learn what I did this past weekend!! I have returned home with simple, powerful and effective results-based tools to enhance the creating of my personal reality!

Cool thing is, the tools are free!!! The technology exists inside us, tools everyone already has access to, and the free will to use them.

Riding The Leading Edge Of
Behavioural Change Technology

T. Harv Eker – Host & Course Creator

T. Harv was masterful and energetic as always, and it seems to me he is having more fun these days! He lead us through some phenomenal processes of his own, we had the opportunity to listen to his perspectives and stories every day. I have been fortunate to be on the leading edge of the growth of his work and enjoy attending the debuts of his new courses. He over-the-top delivered yet again! I am always amazed at Peaks’ mastery at logistics, everything flows smooth as silk…very Juicy…

Lisa Nichols
Lisa-Nichols.com
This lady has a whole different stage presence than that of her appearance in the movie “The Secret”! My favorite speaker of the weekend! She’s holds herself as an excellent example of strength, passion, fire and good ol’ fashioned fun! Lisa took the stage and hung out with us for a couple of hours. I was moved by her work and involvement in “Motivating the Teen Spirit”! I am all over anything that teaches our young ones how to create their perfect world! Through Lisa’s heart-warming authenticity and connection with the audience she held us transfixed as she acted out and told her stories! My ribs were aching after listening to and laughing with her!

Wyatt Woodsmall, Ph.D. – NLP
“Secrets Of The Time Masters”
For the first time I have an effect method for visualising and organizing my visions! And I now see how time travel is possible if we use the technology of our mind to do it! Wyatt was what I refer to as an “unlikely character”, I knew right away I stood to gain a lot. He had a totally different presence than the other speakers and I found his processes and teaching invaluable! As we listened to his telling of the story of the Big Magi and the Little Magi he taught us how to travel along our own life’s time-line including our memories of the past, experiences of the present, and expectations of the future.

Marci Shimoff
Happy For No Reason
Buy it!! Buy copies for your friends and family!! The title speaks for itself! For the first time in our history a book about happiness is 1 on the reading lists!! Shift is happening!! Thanks to the wave of awareness caused by The Secret and the intentions of those that created it, we have a solution to an epidemic of “unhappiness”. As one that was born with the “happy gene”, I am in great appreciation for the release of this gem of a book!

John Kehoe – Mind Power
About John Kehoe
John was another favorite speaker for me! He was warm and authentic and really knew his stuff!! He is one of Harv’s first teachers, a fellow Canadian and has a masterful grasp of how all our unobservable parts work together! I could clearly see where Harv had modeled him and expanded on his work.

I did take notes from John’s talk, and I bought his program!! I’ll be studying with him some more myself! I can’t wait for it to get here.

4 Techniques For Eliminating Negative

1. Cut it off and insert something better. Negative thoughts are not to be in our consciousness.
2. Lable it – “a negative thought”, negatives only have control over us if we react to them.
3. Exaggerate the negative until it is utterly ridiculous, make up a fantastic story that makes you laugh.
4. Counteract the negative with the exact opposite – turn your “don’t want” into a “do want”.

• Mind/Conscience is the gate keeper for the subconscious.
• My subconscious mind is my partner in success – it is the Manifester.
• Beliefs = Choices

Laura Silva
The Silva Method
Continuing on in her father’s work, the daughter of the famous Jose Silva spoke to us of “Developing Your Inner Power”. She is an energetic and fun lady who’s passion for her work radiates from the stage!

As a being we are 5 parts; Physical, Mental, Spiritual, Emotional and Intuitive.
Four fifths of who we are is invisible and intangible!

One of the most subtle and yet powerful things I learned came from her talk! Ms. Silva was teaching us how to go into the “alpha state” and talked about how the thoughts in our head should be viewed like watching the traffic go by on a busy street, don’t react to them, don’t grab onto them, don’t try and chase them, just let them go by…that caused a shift in my meditation experience that made all the difference from that point on!

Brian Alman
Self Hypnosis.com
Dr. Alman packed all his best stuff into a couple of hours for us! We learned a list of great 5 minute meditations and processes to provide ourselves a shot of well-being, relaxation and focus in any situation! He sure shifted my perspective on the effectiveness of self hypnosis, which, I figured out I’ve been doing for many years by instinct! He’s the man with the domain and has a refreshing way of teaching others how to help themselves.

Dr. Masaru Emoto
Messages From Water
Dr. Emoto joined us through video conference as his interpreter and family were on location to show us his amazing work with water crystals! Important work since we are made up of mostly water, and so is our planet. You may recognize Dr. Emoto from one of my all-time favorite productions, “What The Bleep Do We Know?”.

Jennifer Steed – Yoga and Body Movement
Yoga Jen
I’ve been in front of several yoga facilitators over the years and Jen is by far my favorite! Jennifer Steed was one of Harv’s original facilitators years ago and returned to his stage to guide us all in some great movement and stretching exercises throughout the day and first thing in the morning.

Melissa Wadsworth – Dream Boards
MelissaWadsworth.com
“Personal and Professional Enrichment and Abundace Using Empowered Awareness”
So I ask you, “How do you spend a Saturday night?”
If you can, imagine 1400 people all flipping through magazines, cutting and pasting and chattering about their dreams and their aspirations together in one room!! What fun!!! It was just like being in kindergarten again, except no one ate their glue stick…at least not in our circle!

(Click on the picture for a larger view.)

I finally have my own dream board!!! It was something on my “todo” list and now – for now – it is done! What fun!! I have to admit I didn’t hear many of Melissa’s words before I was totally swept up in the dreamy world of my own future reality!

I showed up at the magazine’s pages and let the Universe paint a picture for me of my subconscious desires and future events. From picking out the magazines to arranging all the pieces on the board, I followed the Universe’s lead, the resulting story on the board is fascinating, and packed with my own energy!

What I did this summer…

Well I’m just a few days into my 46th year as a physical being on this jewel we call planet Earth. Yet another profound summer has just whizzed by in a blink and again I’ve come the end of it looking back over my shoulder asking, “What the heck was that?!”

In conversation with an old friend a couple of days ago, we talked about how as children, we seemed to always grow quicker in the summer. As soon as school was dismissed, it was like someone hit the “turbo button” on life, there always seemed to be an exponential boost of growth in the few weeks before the next school year began. I always owed the phenomenon to the added sunshine and outdoor activity – we are just like plants in a lot of ways I figure. I recall the many times as I was growing up, receiving comments upon my return to “real life” like, “Wow, you really grew fast over the summer!” Later, as a new Mother I was able to see the same dynamics play out watching my son grow.

My friend and I came to the co-creative realization that those dynamics are still alive and well indeed, and playing out as we continue to grow mentally and spiritually! As I look back over the past 3 or 4 months, I can authentically say to my Self, “Wow, you really grew fast over the summer!”

I question my own theory now though, I’m not entirely convinced the growth is so much about the extra sunshine and outdoor exercise…now I know it’s more about the additional freedom, ease and letting go of a lot of what we “should” be or are programmed to be doing. Can you hear it yet? “No more pencils, no more books, no more teacher’s dirty looks!” That’s an incredible amount of instantly released resistance; expansion is always freer to flourish when the resistance is gone. We go forth into our summers expecting different things to show up so we manifest different results!

In fact, I think I sang that same song above just 3 years ago when I found out I was leaving my corporate position…no small coincidence that I have experienced exponential growth since my release from that!

On this first day of fall, summer 2007 was by no means an exception to the phenomenon; in fact, I see it as the epitome of it! I have always instinctively been drawn to want to reflect on and recap my summer’s activities…sort of an essay to myself on “What I Did This Summer”. I now see that I’m programmed to respond that way, the reflection is always a mixture of delicious emotions and happy memories. By writing it all out I can recapture the feeling and later use those vibrations to inspire me onto the next one!

I’m a work hard and play hard kind of being. I’m getting the hang of letting go of the former (still) and that it’s the latter – the playing hard – that produces the stellar results in my life and causes the forces of manifestation to respond in kind.

I was blessed as a young teen, and I am largely grateful as I realize my summers were nothing short of “magical”. Between the ages of 12 and 15 or so, my grandparents were semi-retired and had taken the job of managing a beautiful, charming and well established northern family resort for a company based out of my home town. SC Johnson & Son was originally called “Johnson’s Wax” way back when my Grandfather cut grass for them as a teen. The resort was a perk for the employees, charged a minimal fee, one could take their family on a beautiful week’s vacation almost entirely on the company. Decades later, Papa left “the plant” as a successful manager and technological innovator, taking my grandmother with him – newly added to the SC Johnson payroll – to live out their days in nature’s bliss. My grandmother’s older brother and his wife had run the resort previous to them so “The Resort” was familiar to our family because we had all stayed there as guests over the years.

Every summer, Thanksgiving, Christmas, Easter and March break I would be there like a shot! I had my own room, my own boats – motor, sail and canoe, my own snowmobile, water skis, snow skis, a beachfront on a pristine lake, a fresh rotation of new friends every week (two maximum), lots of untouched Precambrian nature to explore, a boys summer camp up the road and VERY allowing grandparents; all in exchange for just Being more of Me…and a few hours of cleaning cottages on Friday and Saturday mornings, cutting some grass, raking the beach once in a while after a storm blew in, bailing out boats, running small errands, oh and, filleting the fish the guests caught because they didn’t usually know how. I spent my time off in perpetual celebration from the time the school bell rang for the last time of the last semester until the day before I had to return to it!!

As I celebrate my 45th birthday this past week I am well into the 4th Harry Potter book, I am loving the luxury of getting lost in the story of Harry!! I am grateful I acted on the decision to read Rowling’s masterpieces! I am also enjoying the story of Harry Potter as a close metaphor to my own life.

“The Resort” was my Hogwarts, and summers were indeed magical and experiential! Today I still create the venues for my learning and growth in some unconventional and fantastically fun ways!

This summer has certainly been one of adventure and growth and more than a touch of magic – but mostly it’s been about “letting go”, of learning how to tap into the flow of my own life and get more in tune with my own “nature” and the dance of it. My day’s activities have shifted, become more focused, more efficient; I am getting back to the necessity of simplicity and ease and learning the art of living all of life as if it is “summer” all year ’round!

From the declarations bestowed upon us at Harv Eker’s “Never Work Again” in June, my favorite one states, “The less I work the more I earn.” As a programmed work-a-holic, getting to the feeling place of believing that has been “the work”.

I have literally “reinvented” myself, my daily activities and the ways I “work” over the summer weeks. I got good and mad at myself at some point, rolled up my sleeves and got to the work of learning how to play and get paid! The results of doing things differently are obvious and showing up all around me! I am slowly figuring how to “get out of my own way”, it’s a process, and patience with my Self is virtuous!

I learned from Tim Ferris while devouring his “The 4-Hour Workweek” book, the distinction between “efficient” and “effective” and shifted my focus to achieve mastery in the latter…

Julia Cameron’s book “The Artist’s Way” has been a daily practice the last month and a half, again I am amazed by the simplicity of what works for me. This book has been in my sphere of influence for 10 years and I clearly see why NOW is the perfect time for it to present itself to me. I don’t know what my day would be like without writing out the morning pages before it starts…and, I don’t take the chance of skipping them to find out!

All in all, after the summer seminars, camping trips, the perfect books and rich experiences with a diverse set of good friends and just the perfect amount of contrast, I am somehow much bigger now than I was this Spring, causing me to remark with pride again, “Wow, you really grew fast this summer!”

Kudos for “The 4-Hour Workweek”!

“Ask and it is given…every single time, no exception!“
Abraham-Hicks

I just finished one of the best and most entertaining books I’ve ever read! Upon being lured into the bookstore by my inner guidance as I passed by it, the book almost jumped off the shelf into my hands. I have always had the best results when I let a book pick me! It’s a great way of letting the Universe provide the answers and solutions I have been asking for. It is exactly what I needed to hear to both alleviate anxiety through confirmation and fill in some pieces that I felt were missing…thing is I don’t always consciously know what pieces are missing until they find me!!

Timothy Ferriss’s “The 4-Hour Workweek” is a must read for anyone “dissatisfied” with any aspect of their lifestyle. It is a targeted to both employees and entrepreneurs. He defines the term for a new subculture called the “New Rich”. It is encouraging to me to know that I am very comfortable in this “subculture”. One of the biggest “ahas” I personally had was the fact that I am still operating in many way like a “corporate employee”, despite having left the corporate game almost 3 years ago!

A few days ago I was having a discussion with my house mate, Kat. The discussion centered on the reading of books, specifically the fact that it is becoming increasingly more challenging to find a book that captures our attention and focus all the way through. Years ago I would read a book or two a week, gobbling up almost everything in it!

After having eaten personal growth for breakfast for so many years, most books I pick up and flip through smack of the “same-old-same-old”. That’s not to say they are not valuable, nurturing, confirming and mind-expanding for most, it just seems many of them are saying the same things in different ways to me, to the point where it seems as though “I’ve heard that before.” I know that if I read the book anyway I will inevitably discover a golden nugget here and there…and, I find myself asking, “Do I want to read a whole book to capture the odd nugget?” And besides, I caution myself about using the phrase, “I already know that”, it’s a statement that I find mind-closing.

I realized that my own work and experiences have caught up to – and in some cases exceeded – the perspectives of those I call “mentors”. I also realized this is a function of living on the “creative leading edge of thought”. As my friend Abraham says, “There’s never a crowd out here on the leading edge.” As a result of this “analysis” and my conversations with others it has become clear that it is time to share my own perspective in a much bigger way! It has me asking some different questions of myself, provoking some refreshing and different answers that have ever come back before!

Timothy Ferriss is certainly an individual on the leading edge! His book is just plain fun and appeals to my naturally rebellious nature. In it, he lays out a process and system for showing others how to re-organize their lives and enjoy their retirement NOW, not 20, 30 or more years from NOW. In essence he has made total sense of the magic I have witnessed in my own life, the message coming in loud and clear is “get free first, then get rich”. Tim isn’t the only one touting this message lately! And I can clearly see how my priorities were bang on by instinct when I finally cut the ties to my own corporate career. It was a life-saving decision made with little to no fear or hesitation once the timing was “perfect”.

I read it cover to cover first, laughing out loud to the point of snorting – the author’s a riot! I started reading it at the mall over lunch and people were looking at me funny as I read and enjoyed my meal. I read it all the way home as I walked, still laughing all the way. Hearing the giggling coming from my room, my house mates could have labeled me as insane if they weren’t the cool and allowing people they are…and besides they bought their own copy to enjoy! I am going through it a second time with highlighter and pencil in hand, it’s one of those books that I could highlight every line! I intend to capture and model the “missing pieces” that I sent the Universe to find for me.

Below is a few of my favorite quotes and passages, wander on over to the website to read part of the book yourself! It’s available in audio and e-book as well as hardcover.

The 4-Hour Workweek
Escape 9-5, live anywhere, and join the New Rich.

The “New Rich”:

• Follow an uncommon set of rules.
• …are those who abandon the deferred-life plan and create luxury lifestyles in the present using the currency of the New Rich: time and mobility. This is an art and a science we will refer to as Lifestyle Design.
• …can be separated from the crowd based on their goals, which reflect very distinct priorities and life philosophies.

“Life doesn’t have to be so damn hard. It really doesn’t.”

“It’s time to have fun and let the rest follow.”

“I’ll show you how a small underground uses economic sleight-of-hand to do what most consider impossible.”

“The commonsense rules of the “real world” are a fragile collection of socially reinforced illusions.”

“Reality is negotiable. Outside of science and law, all rules can be bent or broken, and it doesn’t require being unethical.”

“People don’t want to be millionaires – they want to experience what they believe only millions can buy.”

“$1,000,000 in the bank isn’t the fantasy. The fantasy is the lifestyle of complete freedom it supposedly allows. The question is then, How can one achieve the millionaire lifestyle of complete freedom without first having $1,000,000?“

“The objective is to create freedom of time and place and use both however you want.”

“Most of the role models in this book didn’t go to the Harvards of the world, and some are dropouts. Top academic institutions are wonderful, but there are unrecognized benefits to not coming out of one.”

“So, what do you do?”…”The beauty is, I’m not a multimillionaire, nor do I particularly care to be.I never enjoyed answering this cocktail question because it reflects an epidemic I was long part of: job descriptions as self-descriptions.”

“…what I do with my time and what I do for money are completely different things…I work less than four hours per week and make more per month than I used to make in a year”

“Options – the ability to choose – is real power.”

“…each path begins with the same first step: replacing assumptions.”

“Don’t follow a model that doesn’t work. If the recipe sucks, it doesn’t matter how good a cook you are.”

Ordinarily he was insane, but he had lucid moments when he was merely stupid.

-Heinrich Heine, German critic and poet

Everything popular is wrong.

-Oscar Wilde, The Importance of Being Earnest

Family Reunion Time!

(Click on any of the pictures to view them bigger or surf the whole album.)

It’s been 6 years since my son and I joined the rest of the family for a few days of summer fun and frolic at our favorite spot in Northern Ontario.

I’m pretty sure I learned more about myself in the few short days with my family than I learned in the previous 2 seminars I attended just days before!

My son and his cousins represent the 5th generation on Red Cedar Lake Camp! My Great Grandfather helped to build one of the fishing camps on the lake. 250 miles North of Toronto, my Grandmother talks of 12 hour drives on rutted roads sleeping on the floorboards of the family car as a child. Today the drive is just under 5 hours with widened and paved roads!

Our summer getaway is a serene and fairly untouched lake. It sits on Crown land and there’s very few private property owners on the lake itself. The energy of the place rejuvenates the soul and quiets the mind, even though it takes a couple days to acclimatize to the slower, more relaxed pace! We catch the most fish too! After 5 generations we are “at one” with the fish…

Jeff Coombs

I’m always pleasantly surprised at how “functional” our family is in this environment, the drama and challenges get put aside and left behind – fun is the focus of the days. Rich customs and rituals have developed over years of gathering together for the annual time-out. July is a month of anniversaries – Mom & Dad’s 46th this year, birthdays and first times in the water!

We had so much fun, next year we have reservations to stay for a month!

Until then…keep a tight line eh?!

Manifesting On The Fly…

I had a good giggle and an opportunity to see how my manifesting process plays out in my reality…

It seems my thoughts are showing up almost upon finishing the thought these days!! It’s so noticeable that I am very careful with where my thoughts go…

I was folding up a finished load of laundry in the building’s laundry room this morning, while at the same time my roommates were heading out to meet with someone.

As I stepped off the elevator onto my floor I heard a voice in my head say, “Uh-oh”…then asked, “I wonder if Kat & Wayne thought to leave the door open…my question was answered as I tried the knob and it was locked…Doh.

Well, I knew they wouldn’t be long so I headed down to the lobby with my fresh laundry to await their return. There was a pile of newspapers in a corner so I settled in with a copy knowing my Tim Horton’s coffee would be along soon and all would be well.

As I’m sitting there I think to myself, “It would be great if the Manager was to walk in right now. He probably has a key to my apartment.” Then my mind drifted to the fact that I wouldn’t know the Manager if he did walk in ’cause he’s new.

About 30 to 60 seconds later a man came to the front door and let himself in. On his belt was a key ring full of keys and he was heading for the office door!! I asked, “Do you happen to have keys to all the apartments on that key ring?”

“I sure do!” he replied. “My name’s Mike, I’m the new Manager here.”

I laughed out loud and told him the story of how I had been stranded and that my friends would be back shortly. He let me in, we had a great chat on the way up to the apartment and a few moments later in walked the gang with my extra-large coffee! Ahhh…I love the place of perfect alignment.

And, it’s scary sometimes!!!

Do You Earn A Massive Passive Income?!

“You’re not obligated to win.

You’re obligated to keep trying
to do the best you can every day.” Marian Wright Edelman
Activist for children’s rights

Did you know one of the declarations of the very wealthy is…?

“The less I work, the more I earn.”

I’m just back and still coming down to earth after attending T. Harv Eker’s latest masterpiece, “Never Work Again“…and once again, the man has astounded and amazed us all!

I just realized this morning that as he grows so does his work and his ability to transform his students right there on the spot!

I am reminded again just how blessed I am to have somehow stumbled right into the perfect place for me once again! I live a beautiful life. It’s my intention that others get even a taste of what that
feels and looks like for them.

“Never Work Again” – 1000 people in one room over 4 information-packed days of back to back
presenters, speakers and trainers on a diverse range of passive income structures and systems – all of them packaged up so that we could choose that which resonated most or was within our
personality and price range. There were opportunities that you could buy and those that one builds…whether one had time or money, there was something for everyone! Harv’s audio/visuals
team is getting great at entertaining us all and making it fun!

Some people were walking out of the room after the seminar to return home to quit their job!! A quarter of the room had arrived from Atlanta having JUST attended the “Millionaire Mind Intensive”
there 2 days before…their lives will NEVER be the same!

I’ll be dumping my notes out into this writing so that you can explore some fresh new options too!

Oh yeah, and my favorite parts; the dancing, the accelerated learning techniques and practices that led to my own shifts in perspective, and hanging out with some of my favorite people in the world! I created new partnerships, met with the energy of excited newly opening people and fresh new projects and ideas to run and play with. Harv helped one fellow propose to his partner by surprise, on stage in front of the whole room! The place went wild! It was a very special few moments.

There is an underlying social culture that has developed from years of attending courses and camps together, they are my “like-minded” crowd, there’s marriages and babies being born from with it. I personally call it “The Peaks Bubble“, others that are familiar with Harv’s work and systems call it, “the bottom of the funnel”, it has a certain “high-energy” about it, when you enter or leave it, you know it.

I bought Harv’s “MMI“
home-study course in the fall of October 2002. I listened to those tapes numerous times over the next couple of years. At the end of 2004 as I was transitioning out of my corporate position, I was considering what my next level of learning and self-education should be…I decided I finally had the time and money together to study with Harv, I knew that I would find all I needed to propel my self-development and business forward. As I was about to go looking for when and where the next MMI was being held, I received an email that the first MMI in the East was being held in Toronto, Harv’s hometown! Oh happy day! I realized that my willingness to do whatever it took to get there was abundantly rewarded with something perfect – Harv was an hour away – he came to me!!

When I left my corporate employer I had a batch of stock in my name. I left it sit and saw it as a contingency fund should an opportunity arise to use it. Well that opportunity was in the form of a Peak Potentials Quantum Program Registration, Harv’s 3 to 4 year program of almost all of his courses! I found it amusing that I had EXACTLY the amount of value in my stocks as the incredible deal offered to me. It was a no-brainer/slam-dunk decision. I have appreciated every penny I have invested into Peak’s programs which = an investment in “Me”. My commitment to playing full out with my own learning has returned abundant wealth, health and happiness – absolutely!

I’ve registered both my son and I for the newest seminar not even off the presses yet! I took Isaac to Warrior camp with me 2 years ago and he still says it was the best week he’s ever had!
I can hardly wait for that one!

If you have attended a Peak Potentials “Millionaire Mind Intensive”, check out “Never Work Again”! It’s the next natural step after an MMI because there we learn a whole lot about The Golden Goose and Passive Income – it’s good to know what a good passive income vehicle looks like!

My notes, opinions and perspectives are below, my opinion is my own, you have your own, make sure it’s an educated one…feel free to explore that which resonates with you…it’s a buffet…all you
can eat, and do eat all you take…

Network Marketing

Randy Gage – DuplicationNation.com

By far the favorite speaker of the entire seminar!!
Randy is the number one network marketer in the world! He was both engaging and entertaining and set the room straight on what Network Marketing is and is not…

After he spoke, people were seeking me out to see what company and products I had to offer!! Did you know 9 out of 10 people like chocolate?

I purchased Randy’s training system to share with my fast-growing group. As he says,

“I have a Leadership factory
disguised as a wellness company.”

Internet Marketing

Eben Pegan – Ebook Self-Publishing

Created almost $47K within an hour right there at the event! Eban writes under the pen name of David DeAngelo and did very well with a book called “Double Your Dating”. He doesn’t speak for
large audiences in general and was there for us to show us step-by-step how to put an ebook together and offer it up at our website!! The crowd was astonished and amazed at how easy it really is!
Darn…my cover is blown…YES!! It IS really THAT easy! Ask me how if you have a book in you that wants out!

Armand Morin – $30K per day!

I had heard about Armand Morin and having him on stage was – in and of itself – an epiphany for me! Armand showed us all how easy it is to generate passive income streams from using affiliate marketed products. He also showed us how to position ourselves right in the middle of the targeted traffic we want to offer our products to. There weren’t too many secrets here…although many
think there are…

My notes say, “If you can type, you can do it!” And here’s the TOP SECRET secret- tell no one…here’s what it takes to be successful…

• Highlight
• Copy
• Paste

They don’t call me the Copy & Paste Queen for nothin’!!

Best-selling Book Publishing

Harv & Literary Agent – Bonnie Solow

Harv had his book agent dial in for an interview and went on to explain to us step-by-step how to go about getting our book to #1 on the best-seller lists. It’s a huge process…one that continues over years, for little return on your intellectual
property. In the “anyone can do it” category,
Harv’s words of wisdom,

“The term is “best-seller” not “best-writer”.

All that’s required is the right connections and a marketing strategy…the printers print, they don’t market.

I think I’ll stick to Ebooks and Self-Publishing…one can get to the best-sellers list that way too!

Venture Partnering

Berny Dohrmann – CEOSpace.net

This is a unique company promoting “collaboration vs. competition”, CEOSpace is “A World Trade Show That Never Ends”. We are undergoing a “Cooperation Revolution” with a “new Government that is of the
Global Online Village”. He made the following points about cooperation and competition:

• Competition punishes diversity.
• Cooperation celebrates human diversity.
• Cooperation promotes alliances.
• Competition is fear-based and exploitive.
• Cooperation is nurturing and empowering.

Berny had the whole room play his “board game” for 15 minutes to demonstrate how well his simple system can get you what you want in minutes! The end results were magical…the Universe loves this game!

CELEBRATE DIVERSITY!!

High Tech Vending

Kirk Laidlaw – BaristaSupremo.com

If your office is suffering the nasty coffee blues, spruce things up with a Gourmet Coffee Machine that grinds the beans for each cup and makes fresh brewed regular coffee plus cappuccino, espresso, moccaccino, hot chocolate and even flavoured cappuccino like french vanilla, english toffee and irish cream, just to list a few…for a fraction of the big coffee shop prices.

All that right in the office break-room!

Bob Gallner – DVDNowKiosks.com – DVD Now

A video store in a box! Technology never ceases to amaze me! I should think a couple of big video rental stores might be concerned about these popping up everywhere! Convenience and ease rules…

Digital Signage

3D Communications Terminal Very cool and high tech kiosks at a reasonable investment. Find the
locations and they’ll set everything up for you!!

This machine has internet access, video email, games, VoIP pay phone, digital advertising, interactive advertising,3D advertising and accepts cash & credit cards.

Real Estate & Mortgages – “Be The Bank”

Ed Mercer – WindowToThePacific.com

Ahhh yes! My favorite offering of the whole seminar!! I bought the rights to own a place in Costa Rica! I heard Ed Mercer speak at Millionaire School in the fall of 2005 and really didn’t “hear” what he had to offer…this time it was crystal
clear, I’m in!! Both a long-term investment and a passive income stream, Costa Rica has been on the top of my list to see for years! I’ll have much more on this soon, I was offered an incredible deal that is open to my friends as well! This is one happening little country!!

Commercial Real Estate Investing

Scott Scheel – CreativeCommercialRealEstate.com

“The 7 Moves to Checkmate”
This was one of my favorite presentations! Scott’s story leaves you knowing that if he can do it, I can do it! He’s developed a system that teaches
one how to invest in commercial real estate without your own money. It’s a good passive income on about 4 hours a week.

Kris Kirchner’s – AutoPilotRealEstate.com

Buy and sell houses without your own money or credit or Real Estate License! Kris’s story was amazing and the system he’s developed is brilliant! I’ll be researching it more closely for sure!

Mobile Homes & Parks

Jerry Hoganson – MobileWealth.com

Did you know that Warren Buffet owns mobile home parks?! This was one of those surprising and astonishing topics! There’s huge opportunity for passive income if you own modular homes or the whole park! Jerry has a system for showing you
how to get involved.

Mini-Storage

MiniStorageMessenger.com

SelfStorage.com

Harv covered this topic himself and showed us what parts of North America need more storage. Would you believe there’s actually people living in
mini-storage units?!! That blew my mind…and they are a passive income cash cow! He also covered some “niche” ideas – RV, Boat, Antiques & Business
Record Storage.

Patent Licensing

Jerry Oakes – SynergyUSA.com

The Guy that invented iron on t-shirt transfers and mood rings!! He knows the licensing and patent processes! He showed us how to facilitate the connections between manufacturers and distributors.
Royalties on intellectual property is definately the way to earn money!

In general, once you have your money machine set up you have the option to keep it or sell it, either way you’ve created a stream of income that keeps on giving even when you walk away from the source of it!!

Any one of the opportunities above can provide passive income if their systems are followed and we make ourselves students of how it works.

We can buy it, build it or a combination of both. All the while building ourselves and consequently our net worth – which is usually fairly equal to our sense of “self worth”…go figure eh?

You know overall I’ve found that the wealthier a person is…

• the sweeter they are!
• They always come from the heart
• …are always focused on how they can make
  things better for themselves and a bunch of their friends.
• Their goal is to give money away vs. amassing it.
• Their visions are HUGE and outrageous!!
• They are always laughing and having fun…no matter what!
• I want to BE “that”.

OK! Next adventure – “The Party On The Mountain”, “Woodstock For The Mind”…”Seminar Of The Century”!! History will be in the making and the mountain will be a rockin’ next weekend!!

I’ve just had enough time to unpack, organize, launder and re-pack to join my friends in Snowmass, Colorado!!

See you there then?!

The Cellerciser Is In Da’ House!

Boing…boing…boing…boing…

Nope, that’s not the sound of the Easter bunny arriving…

Now, I’m not only sparkly, I’m much bouncier too!!

It’s been a week since I picked up my new Cellerciser Rebounder from the post office.

It took all of 5 minutes to unpack and setup and it sits off to the side of our main pathway in the living room so with 3 of us living here, it gets used all day long!

I discovered the benefits of rebounding and the Cellerciser while at T. Harv Eker’s “Extreme Health” in February.  After a week of daily use on my own I am now experiencing the benefits for myself!

I was desiring a solution for working out every day…something that’s fun, easy and that I love to do!  As someone that lives in “inspired action”, well, it had to be “inspiring”!  I have to say I’ve been more of a “work hard” than “work out” kind of person in the past.  I have been at a desk more the last few years and of course focusing on doing less for more so my thoughts were gravitating towards a fun, simple and efficient way to get consistent exercise.

Well as is usual, once I was clear on what I wanted, got out of my own way and stayed open to what would show up, the Universe delivered – even more perfectly than I could have imagined!  When something is “Universally Sent” I know it…and with clarity in hindsight.

The Cellerciser came with a DVD, a great little book about rebounding as “THE” perfect workout, and an ionic mineral supplement – electrolytes.  That was interesting since I had just ordered a box of Isagenix’s electrolyte drink powders for my daily water bottles.  Electrolytes are especially important to me right now as I’m more than half-way through my Mercout detoxification treatment!

All of these things I attracted are working together to provide me with some pretty specific solutions!!  I am providing much needed resistance [yes, "resistance is crucial"] to all my cells and pumping my body up with anti-oxidants to go in and mop up all the nasty stuff!   I’m even eating extra healthy chocolate every day because of the benefits it brings to my body and my spirit…

I shifted my focus a few months ago to those things that cleanse and keep my body clean rather than “shot-gunning” it with nutritional supplements…I was putting a lot of nutrition in and it wasn’t being used properly by my body because of toxicity that was gagging up the cellular processes!

I am amazed at what is going on in my body, mind and spirit right now!  In a few words, “it feels like I’m ascending on the inside…getting lighter – like a fog or veil is lifting.”

Although I consider myself a “Law of Attraction” Master, I am still consensually tied to this physical world we created for this physical experience.  Everything is energy and frequency hopping is a whole lot easier if I keep things flowing!

So I will continue with my days of chocolate and trampoline and report back to you what’s happening!!  I’m feelin’ like a kid again!!

In the meantime, click on over and check out the benefits of rebounding!

Here’s another Universal wink…Dave Hall has a referral plan on the promotion of the Cellerciser!!  Of course he does…the Universe wouldn’t leave that aspect of my intentions out!

My intentions for this year:  “To help 10 times as many people, provide more value and play a bigger game!”

So far I’m lovin’ what’s showin’ up!!

Some quotes that spoke to me from “Looking Good Feeling Great” by Karol Khun Truman:

“Our society seems to have been trained in the Puritan ethic: you have to work for what you get.  And work hard!  But exercise is one area where that old truism doesn’t necessarily hold true.”

“…rebounding is good exercise, and better exercise than most programs because of its simplicity.  With only one kind of motion, the rebound unit tones and conditions every single cell of the body at once.  Thus rebounding is what you might call a concentrated form of exercise – you actually get more results from less effort.”

“Let it be easy.  Take advantage of its simplicity and don’t waste energy trying to complicate it.”

Don’t Exercise…

Cellercise!

5 Things You Never Knew Your Cell Phone Could Do!

Your mobile phone can actually be a life saver or an emergency tool for survival.
Check out the things that you can do with it:

1. Emergency
   The Emergency Number worldwide for Mobile is 112. If you find yourself out of the coverage area of your mobile; network and there is an emergency, dial 112 and the mobile will search any existing network to establish the emergency number for you, and interestingly this number 112 can be dialed even if the keypad is locked. Try it out.
2. Have you locked your keys in the car?
   Does your car have remote keyless entry? This may come in handy someday. Good reason to own a cell phone: If you lock your keys in the car and the spare keys are at home, call someone at home on their cell phone from your cell phone. Hold your cell phone about a foot from your car door and have the person at your home press the unlock button, hol ding it near the mobile phone on their end. Your car will unlock. Saves someone from having to drive your keys to you. Distance is no object. You could be hundreds of miles away, and if you can reach someone who has the other “remote” for your car, you can unlock the doors (or the trunk).
3. Hidden Battery Power
   Imagine your cell battery is very low. To activate, press the keys *3370# Your cell will restart with this reserve and the instrument will show a 50% increase in battery. This reserve will get charged when you charge your cell next time.
4. How to disable a STOLEN mobile phone?
   To check your Mobile phone’s serial number, key in the following digits on your phone: * # 0 6 # A 15 digit code will appear on the screen. This number is unique to your handset. Write it down and keep it somewhere safe. When your phone get stolen, you can phone your service provider and give them this code. They will then be able to block your handset so even if the thief changes the SIM card, your phone will be totally useless. You probably won’t get your phone back, but at least you know that whoever stole it can’t use/sell it either. If everybody does this, there would be no point in people stealing mobile phones.
5. Free Directory Service for Cells
   Cell phone companies are charging us $1.00 to $1.75 or more for 411 information calls when they don’t have to. Most of us do not carry a telephone directory in our vehicle, which makes this situation even more of a problem. When you need to use the 411 information option, simply dial: (800) FREE 411, or (800) 373-3411 without incurring any charge at all. Program this into your cell phone now.
